In summary, the integral over double primed variables is a function of ##r'## and ##r## and the integral over prime variables is a function of ##r## only.

It's a double integral. Anything that does not depend on double-prime is constant and can be pulled out of the integral over double primed variables.

Can you be a little more specific considering this case?

There is nothing specific about this. Just put everything that depends on double prime under the integral sign that has ##dV''## and everything that depends only on prime under the integral sign that has ##dV'##. You do the double prime integral first and get a function of ##r'## and ##r##. Next you do the integral over primed variables and you get a function of ##r## only which will be an expression for ##Z(r)##.

It's like $$\int \int f(x,y)~g(x)~dx~dy=\int g(y)dy\int f(x,y)dx$$except with primes and double primes instead of ##x## and ##y##.

There's something wrong. Shouldn't it be
$$\int \mathrm{d} x \int \mathrm{d} y f(x,y)g(y)=\int \mathrm{d} y \int \mathrm{d} x f(x,y)g(y) = \int \mathrm{d} y g(y) \int \mathrm{d} x f(x,y)?$$
Examples like this let me prefer to write the differential of the integral in front, i.e., to have the integral sign including the differential as an operator acting to the right. Usually this makes reading the integrals and manipulating them easier than the somehow more common notation in the math literature, which puts the differential at the very end of the expression, i.e., after the integrand.

Related to How to get the second line of this equation from the first one?

1. How do you simplify equations?

To get the second line of an equation from the first one, you can use various methods such as combining like terms, factoring, or using the distributive property. It ultimately depends on the specific equation and what you are trying to solve for.

2. What is the purpose of getting the second line of an equation?

Getting the second line of an equation allows you to simplify and rearrange the equation in a way that makes it easier to solve for the desired variable or to better understand the relationship between the different terms.

3. Can you provide an example of getting the second line of an equation?

Sure, let's say we have the equation 2x + 4 = 10. To get the second line, we can subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the variable: 2x = 6. Then, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: x = 3. The second line of this equation would be x = 3.

4. Are there any rules or guidelines to follow when getting the second line of an equation?

Yes, it is important to maintain the equality of the equation by performing the same operations on both sides. This means that whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other. Additionally, you should always aim to simplify the equation as much as possible.

5. Can getting the second line of an equation help with solving real-world problems?

Yes, simplifying and rearranging equations is a common practice in solving real-world problems in various fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. It allows us to better understand and manipulate the relationships between different variables in a given situation.
